That Week of Hearts (EXO - Luhan and Kai Fanfiction)

Late Night

I slowly open my eyes and become aware of the room around me.  I move my hand and feel a soft blanket covering my torso.  I squint my eyes as I carefully pull myself up onto my elbows.  Where did this come from?  I turn my head to look at the digital clock by the tv.  Seven o'clock.  

I groan release myself back down onto the pillow under my head and cover my face with my hands.

Suddenly, I remember the day's events replaying through my mind.  Luhan's house, the mall, the fake date, Kai coming over.  Kai coming over...  So that's where the blanket came from.  

I continue to keep my eyes closed when I hear my phone vibrate. 

"Seriously? Whoever it is, I don't wanna talk." 

I uncover my face and move my hand over to the coffee table, feeling across the wood for my phone.  When I feel my phone, I grab it and flick to the screen to unlock it.  

From: Luhan

Hey, come outside. I want to take you somewhere.

~Lu

Oh what joy.  This jerk again.  And he wants to take me somewhere?  Another date?  Great.  I guess I'll just make something up.

To: Luhan

Hey, I can't right now.  Um, I'm in the middle of dinner...

I put my phone down and cover my face again before hearing the vibration against the table.  I reach for my phone again.

From: Luhan

You cook in the dark...?

I look around the house to realize that none of the lights are on.  Always the smart alec, aren't you Luhan? 

To: Luhan

Uh... sometimes :)

From: Luhan

Well, okay then...  I'll just wait outside until you're done.  Bring your dance shoes.

I roll my eyes.  

Great.  I guess that didn't work.  And why did he want me to bring my dance shoes?  We have to perform for some other couple now?

I get up from the couch and walk to my bathroom to freshen up.  I re-curl several pieces of my hair, re-apply my eyeshadow and mascara, and change into a pair of jeggings, white floral shirt, and a denim jacket. 

I don't even know why I put any effort into trying to get ready.  I feel like socking this guy right in the face.  But I guess I still have just a little hope that he might have some feeling for me. 

I walk out of the bathroom, grab my bag, and walk out of the house locking the door behind me.  I turn and walk out into the courtyard to see Luhan standing by his car, gently smiling at me.  Oh how that smile makes me melt.  I walk up to him and he smirks at me.

"Cooking in the dark, huh?" he says in a mocking tone.

I playfully punch him in the chest.

"Shut up," I say with a light chuckle.
